the defense budget has to be part of this too. some of these rich guys are willing to put defense on the table. good for them. some may not be so wild about that. and if defense isn't part of the deal, then again, it's not a serious deal. >> and i have to point out, these are the big business leaders that are getting intervinte interviewed talking about the insecurity in the economy. i don't know. the early reports is that black friday was pretty good. the weekend was strong and cyber monday ain't bad either. so the fear talk doesn't seem to be playing on the consumer. e.j. dionne, great to have you with us. >>> john mccain changes his tune on susan rice. how does this guy have any credibility left whatsoever? michael tomasky will weigh in next. >>> republicans are getting real. we'll have the new revelations about their bid to block the vote. >>> and what it means in the next election. stay tuned. we're on point. ♪ it's so important to make someone happy ♪ when you give a child a toy, it has to work. ♪ make just one someone

and we have looming massive defense cuts that this house has acted to substitute. the president should be called upon, asked what is his plan. >> house republicans agree to the defense cuts as part of a debt deal last year. but facts get in the way of a political attack on a day like this. then there's dick cheney, the former vice president is no stranger to politicizing 9/11. eight years ago this month, he told america if john kerry is elected, the danger is we'll get hit again. now similar attacks against obama. if president obama were participating in his intelligence briefings on a regular basis, perhaps he would understand why people are so offended at his efforts to take sole credit for the killing of osama bin laden. president obama never took sole credit for the killing and the president reviews his intelligence briefings every day. it's shocking for dick cheney to go down this road. an op-ed revealed negligence by the bush administration when it came to intelligence briefings in 2001. the direct warnings to mr. bush about the possibility of an al qaeda att

even a department of defense bill that ended up passing today 98 98-0. they still slow walked it every step of the way. >> so does john mccain help you? i mean does his comments give credence to the reform that you're having on this debate? >> well, certainly it does help us. i think senator rand's behavior and other's behavior does help us. i would love to see senator mccain join us. it's questionable whether he will at this point, but the reality is the public wants us to get something done, to work together. we know that a minority view needs to be protected in the senate. you shouldn't be able to block things for the sake of blocking progress in solving problems. >> it was very clear. mitch mcconnell wanted to make barack obama a one-term president. do you get a sense they are going to do that again? let's say ewe didn't make the changes. would it be a repeat of the last session of congress? >> i absolutely do. even though there are members that want to work across the aisle, we're having better conversations now. and i appreciate that. colleagues on

"the weekly standard's" bill kristol, also quick to jump to romney's defense. he wrote on his blog today, "the facts remain that the events of september 11th, 2012, represent a big moment for the country. romney is right to sense this and is a to seize on this moment as an occasion to explain the difference between his foreign policy and president obama's. he's right to reject the counsel of the mainstream media, which is to keep a obama a pass." michael medved, the author of "the odds against obama." what i want to get at, this has become a very, very heated argument. i feel like folks are talking past each other. to so i want to get at the issues behind the debate. michael, you say it was wrong of romney to be critical of the statement today. this was a statement by a mid-level embassy official trying to disrupt the ongoing siege. so from your perspective, what is the actually foreign policy argument being made here? >> well, the actual foreign policy argument is that we don't preemptively attempt to avoid some kind of attack on the embassy that we know is co

i mean, even before that, when engine charlie wilson who eisenhower named to defense secretary, said what's good for gm is good for america, and vice versa, he was ridiculed because most people understood that what is good for the big corporation in terms of profits is not necessarily good for workers, even though at that time gm was unionized and engine charlie's words more likely the fact then than they are right now. the fact is for the last 30 years america has seen corporations do better and better and better and yet the median wage has gone absolutely nowhere, adjusted for inflation. most people are more insecure in terms of their jobs and their benefits are drying up. corporate profits should not necessarily come at the expense of workers but, in fact, that is exactly what has happened and the bain framework, the bain strategy is at the center of this strategy overall. >> harvest is a very interesting word that he used. it's kind of like lingo, not a few years ago, you know, the term "out of the box." i remember back in the '80s when farming wasn't too bad and a certain player

you showed where he said, both of us care about middle class families, that was almost an entirely defensive ad. and that quinnipiac/"new york times" poll showed why. there was a question in there that asked, does obama, does romney care about the middle class, the rich, the poor, or everyone equally? most polls that give four choices usually get scattered answers. 58% of the people in ohio said that mitt romney's policies favored the rich. by contrast, 59% said that obama's policies favored either everybody equally or the middle class. that's a 17-point gap. and i think the auto rescue is part of it. those bain ads are part of it. ken blackwell, the former republican secretary of state was on cnn today. and he said it was just like '04. bush roughed up kerry in the summer and kerry never recovered. and he didn't say romney will never recover, but the implication was, romney's in a heap of trouble. >> chris redfern, who is the chairman of the democratic party in ohio also with us tonight. chris. a very untenable position that governor kasich is being placed in, to go out and talk about the e
